Hair texture is determined by gene c in an incomplete dominance inheritance pattern, where the heterozygous condition (c1c2) results in wavy hair. Hairline is controlled by gene H, where a widow's peak is dominant to a straight hairline. If a woman with curly hair and a straight hairline has a child with a man with a widow's peak and straight hair (his mom had a straight hairline), what is the chance they would have a kid that has exactly the same hair as mom? Draw the Punnett square and demonstrate the possible genotypes and phenotypes that could result from these two parents' mating.

Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder that is expressed with incomplete dominance. The homozygous recessive phenotype has sickle shaped red blood cells that cause anemia and often death if untreated. If an unaffected father and mother move to the United States from Sub-Saharan Africa and several of their offspring have sickle cell anemia, what do we know about both parents' genotypes? One is homozygous recessive, the other is heterozygous They are both heterozygous They are both homozygous recessive One is homozygous dominant, the other is heterozygous
In humans, the genes for colorblindness and hemophilia are both located on the X chromosome with no corresponding gene in the Y. These are both recessive alleles. If a man and a woman, both with normal vision, marry and have a colorblind son, draw the Punnet square that illustrates this. If the man dies and the woman remarries a colorblind man, draw a Punnet Square showing the type of children that could be expected from the second marriage. How many/what percentages of each could be expected.
A light-haired man has blood type O, his wife has dark hair and blood type AB, but her father had light hair. Assume dark hair (H) is dominant to light (h). What is the probability they will have a child with dark hair and blood type A? What is the probability they will have a child with light hair and blood type B? What is the total number of phenotypes their children could show?
A woman with keratosis, a skin condition caused by a rare dominant allele, marries a man with normal skin. If they have a son, what is the probability that he will have normal skin?
Skin color in humans is determined by polygenic inheritance, which means the more dominant alleles there are, the darker the skin color will be. A medium-toned skinned woman (AaBb) has a child with another medium-toned skinned man (AaBb). What is the probability of them having a very dark-toned skinned child? (Hint: the genotype is homozygous dominant)
In humans, free ear lobes (E) is dominant over attached ear lobes (e), and brown eyes (B) is dominant over blue eyes (b). A man with free ear lobes and brown eyes married a woman with attached ear lobes and brown eyes. Of four children, one has free ear lobes and brown eyes, one has free ear lobes and blue eyes, one has attached ear lobes and brown eyes, and one has attached ear lobes and blue eyes. Determine the genotypes of both parents.
In humans, the genes for coloblindedness and hemophilia re both located on the X chromosome with no corresponding gene in the Y. These are both recessive alleles. a. If a man and a woman, both with normal vision, marry and have a colorblind son, draw the Punnet square that illustrates this. b. If the man dies and the woman remarries to a colorblind man, draw a Punnet Square showing the type of children could be expected from hre second marriage. How many/what percentages of each could ne expected
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if blue is recessive, what must the woman’s genotype be?
Marfan’s syndrome is an example of pleiotrophy where individuals with a copy of the dominant allele have skeletal disorders, mitral valve prolapse and characteristic slender, loose joints. If Abraham Lincoln had a marfanoid disorder which he inherited from his mother, what are the chances he passed this trait on to his offspring? Consider that Mary Todd Lincoln, his wife, was 5’2”. please include a punnett square
Suppose a woman has four sons, and two are colorblind but have normal blood clotting and two have hemophilia but normal color vision. What is the probable genotype of the woman? b. Suppose this woman (later on) had a son with normal vision and normal blood clotting. How can this be explained?
In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normal vision produce a son who is color-blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a female who has normal vision and is type O?
In humans brown eye color is dominant to blue eye color. Suppose that your mother is homozygous and your father is heterozygous and you have brown eyes. If you have a child with blue eyes, what is your genotype?
